Texture map generation for large-scale 3D reconstructed scenes

Abstract

Nowadays RGB-D cameras, such as Microsoft Kinect, have become widely available. Various researches on 3D reconstruction based on RGB-D images have enabled 3D navigation of a scene by rendering the reconstructed 3D model from desirable viewpoints. However, these reconstructed 3D models are not yet popularly used in applications due to the lack of accurate color information.
